About this book
Intergenerational Practice in Schools and Settings provides guidance through the many approaches in education that bring generations together. Identifying the purpose of intergenerational practice, this book offers an insight into how other educational settings have used programmes to enhance the learning experience and connect students to their community and local environment.
Serving as a practical guide on setting up an intergenerational programme and identifying how to overcome the barriers that educators may face as they progress, this engaging book provides the knowledge and skills needed for developing sustainable projects and provides students with the opportunity to enhance the world around them. With case studies from a range of educators and practitioners, this book encourages readers to reflect on how to establish multi-agency relationships to create mutual learning spaces for different generations.
Intergenerational Practice in Schools and Settings is an accessible text to understand the evidence behind the approach, with experiences from educators who are fully engaged with intergenerational practice. It is an inspirational guide for experienced educators, trainee students interested in adopting an intergenerational approach, and for those with prior experience in the field, providing a rationale of how to develop and extend intergenerational opportunities.
